Tilt & Turn Windows — London & the Home Counties

Signature detail

The 180° handle

A single handle rotation drives the entire multi-point mechanism. Turned 90° the sash tilts inward top-first for secure ventilation. Turned 180° the whole sash swings fully inward on concealed hinges — the safest window we fit above ground floor.

Overview

Continental engineering, refined for British homes. A single handle drives a multi-point mechanism that tilts inward for secure ventilation or fully turns for cleaning and fire egress — the safest, most versatile window we fit above ground floor.

Specification

Six-chamber uPVC or thermally-broken aluminium profile · Roto or Maco multi-point tilt & turn gear · argon-filled A+ glazing · concealed hinges

01

Dual-Action Opening

Turn the handle 90° and the sash tilts inward top-first for secure ventilation. Turn it 180° and the sash swings fully inward for cleaning and egress.

02

Safe Interior Cleaning

Clean the outside of the glass from inside the room — essential for flats, first-floor bedrooms and any window above a driveway or drop.

03

Doc B Fire Egress

The full 180° turn provides a compliant fire-escape opening — required on habitable rooms above ground floor without another route out.

04

Continental Sightlines

Flush interior appearance with no protruding handle, ideal for architectural interiors and window seats. Concealed hinges for a clean external look.

05

Child & Restrictor Safety

Lockable tilt-only position with a security key — ventilation without the ability to accidentally push the sash into a full turn.

06

PAS 24 Multi-Point Locking

Up to 8 locking points around the sash perimeter. Naturally more secure than a standard casement thanks to the geometry of the mechanism.

Common questions

Practical answers.

Everything homeowners ask us about tilt & turn windows — survey, lead times, guarantees and coverage.

When are tilt & turn windows the right choice?+

Above ground floor they are safer to clean, provide a compliant fire escape and make secure ventilation straightforward. They are especially well suited to flats and bedrooms.

Do they take up interior space when open?+

In tilt mode, the top of the sash intrudes about 100mm — enough for airflow, not enough to catch on curtains or blinds. In full-turn mode the sash swings inward and needs clear space, so we advise against them behind kitchen sinks.

Can children open them?+

The tilt position is lockable with a key, so children can't force a full turn. This is standard on any tilt & turn we fit above ground floor.

Are they good for high-rise flats?+

Yes — they're the default choice for flats above the first floor because they can be cleaned safely from inside without a cradle or scaffold.

What materials are they available in?+

Both uPVC and thermally-broken aluminium. The mechanism is the same either way; the material choice comes down to sightline, colour and the character of the property.
